1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesTo evaluate the real-world effectiveness of octocog alfa (BAY 81-8973; Kovaltry) in people with haemophilia A (PwHA), including under-represented subgroups.

methodsWe retrospectively analysed the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN) dataset to identify the characteristics, treatment/clinical histories and annualised bleeding rates (ABRs) of PwHA receiving prophylactic or on-demand octocog alfa. Subgroup analyses included females and those switching to octocog alfa. Data are reported descriptively.

resultsAmong 270 PwHA treated with octocog alfa with available bleeding rate data between 1 January 2010 and 31 October 2020, mean (standard deviation) total ABRs were low (0.59 [2.22]) and > 70% of those treated for > 12 months had 0 bleeds. At the second data cutoff (30 April 2022; n = 354), subgroups who switched to octocog alfa from previous treatment had low mean total ABRs after switching, including adolescents (0.83; n = 22), and those previously receiving emicizumab (0.17; n = 17). In females, 10/11 reported 0 bleeds, and of those with joint range of motion data available (n = 5), 100% had values ≥ 10% below the normal range in ≥ 2 joints.

conclusionsPwHA treated with octocog alfa in the ATHNdataset, including important subgroups, reported a low number of bleeds; thus, octocog alfa offers an effective therapeutic option.
